Fake Doctor from Jharkhand Sentenced to Prison
Imagine there was a person pretending to be a doctor, but they didn't actually go to medical school.
This person was working at a hospital and getting paid like a real doctor.
They got caught when they tried to get a loan and the bank realized their documents were fake.
The fake doctor had used someone else's credentials!
The police found out and arrested the person.
The person has been sentenced to jail for almost two and a half years and a fine of 5,000 rupees.
This person had done the same thing before at another place, so this wasn't their first offense.
Pradmanavan Mukhi Karwa, a fake doctor from Jharkhand, received a 29-month jail sentence.
He was impersonating Dr. Ramesh Chandra Jha and working at Rourkela Govt Hospital (RGH).
The fraud was discovered during a loan application when forged documents were detected.
Karwa was arrested by Raghunathpalli police and was found to be previously convicted of similar crimes.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 with an additional month's imprisonment for non-payment.
